Witness Interviewing
Interviewing witnesses, assessing their credibility, presentation and
impression in addition to and taking their statements is an extremely important
function of investigations and should be accomplished as soon as
possible after the review of all file and discovery materials. At Arkus,
Inc. we believe that preparation is the key to a successful witness
interview and statement. Anyone with any knowledge of the incident, the
defendant, and the victim(s) should be considered possible witnesses,
including police personnel who may have responded to the scene and
conducted the investigation. Medical personnel who responded to the
scene and anyone who subsequently rendered medical care to the victim(s)
and the defendant should also be considered possible witnesses. Family
members of the victim(s) and the defendant are also potential witnesses.
